ACETOXYCHAVICOL ACETATE, D/L-1''-

Description

D,L-1′-Acetoxychavicol acetate is a natural compound first isolated from the rhizomes of ginger-like plants. It has a wide array of cellular effects that may be largely explained by its ability to inhibit exportin 1 and prevent the export of proteins from the nucleus. In this way, D,L-1′-acetoxychavicol acetate reduces several intracellular signaling pathways, including NF-κB, impacting inflammation, cancer, viral replication, and other processes.
